The Zoo supports more than 20 organizations over the last few years\, conserving wildlife and wild places of animals we represent.  In this talk\, Tom will take you through his path from a pet store employee to zookeeper to his current role as a zoo director.  He will talk about a childhood of exploration\, and about his early field days in the Bahamas through his most recent trip to Guatemala.  He will give you a glimpse of what it is like to have to balance partnerships\, technology\, governmental regulations\, the need for transparency\, program delivery\, and a dedicated staff to increase conservation impact while telling a compelling story. \nTom Snyder\, Seneca Park Zoo Society\n \nTom Snyder is currently the director of programming and conservation action for the Seneca Park Zoo Society.  His department is responsible for programming onsite and off\, and working on various zoo conservation projects.  He grew up in the Finger Lakes\, and has spent time in Central America\, Bahamas\, Africa and in various parts of the US working in zoos and conservation.  Initially a zookeeper\, the power of zoos as conservation organizations was a driving force in steering Tom to his current position. \n

SUMMARY:November:  Kevin McGowan - "Think Like a Bird: How to Understand Bird Behavior"
DESCRIPTION:Birds are fascinating to watch\, and not just because they are beautiful. Did you ever see a bird do something funny and ask yourself\, “Now why did that bird do that?” Understanding bird behavior can be tricky\, but Kevin will provide us with a framework to help comprehend and appreciate why birds do the things they do. Birds aren’t tiny little flying people\, and they don’t have the same needs and motivations that we do. But\, the way they accomplish their own goals can be amazing. Can you think like a bird? \nKevin J. McGowan Ph.D.\, Cornell Lab of Ornithology \nKevin is a professional ornithologist and avid birder. He is currently the project manager for Distance Learning in Bird Biology in the Education program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He is the author and instructor for the courses “Ornithology: Comprehensive Bird Biology\,”  “Investigating Behavior: Courtship and Rivalry in Birds\,” “Think Like a Bird: Understanding Bird Behavior\,” and the Be a Better Birder series of courses and webinars on bird identification\, offered through the Lab’s Bird Academy website. \nKevin was the co-editor and primary author for the book\, The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in New York State\, one of the creators of the Cornell Lab’s All About Birds website\, and the former curator of the bird and mammal collections at the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates. \nKevin received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of South Florida\, studying the social development of young Florida Scrub-Jays. He has studied the behavior and biology of the American Crow in central New York for 30 years. He has followed the life stories of more than 2\,500 individual crows\, some for over 19 years. \nKevin is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society\, a former Secretary of the Ornithological Societies of North America\, a past president of the New York State Ornithological Association\, and a former member of New York State Avian Records Committee. \nKevin enjoys all aspects of birds (especially crows)\, from behavior to functional anatomy\, and from ecology to evolution.  He is interested in spreading the appreciation of birds to all possible audiences\, through all possible avenues. \n

SUMMARY:October:  Kyle Horton - "Using Radar to Quantify and Forecast Migratory Patterns"
DESCRIPTION:The notion of hundreds of millions\, if not billions\, of migratory birds passing in and out of broad geographic areas is of considerable public and ecological interest – and of conservation concern. Capturing and quantify these large-scale movements has remained a principle challenge. Kyle Horton\, Cornell Lab of Ornithology Postdoctoral Fellow\, will discuss how he uses weather surveillance radar to quantify and forecast migratory movements across the United States. \nKyle Horton received his B.S. in Biology from Canisius College in 2011\, M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Delaware in 2013\, and Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Oklahoma in 2017. He is currently a Rose Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. His work on migratory birds employs a range of tools and approaches\, including the use of radar\, acoustics\, and citizen science data. He is currently working on understanding avian flight strategies\, long-term phenological change\, population estimates\, the impact of artificial light\, and migration forecasting.

SUMMARY:New York State Ornithological Association 71st Annual Meeting – 2018
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Burroughs Audubon Nature Club & Rochester Birding Association\nOctober 5 – 7\, 2018 in Henrietta\, NY (a suburb of Rochester) \nFor last-minute registrations\, email chitamckinneynysoa@gmail.com\nThe 71st annual meeting of the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) will be held October 5 – 7\, 2018 in Henrietta\, New York. This meeting will be hosted by the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club (BANC) and the Rochester Birding Association (RBA). This will be the 70th anniversary of the first meeting of the organization\, formerly called the Federation of New York State Bird Clubs\, which was held in Rochester in 1948\, with each following 10th anniversary meeting since also held here. \nThe meeting and associated activities will be centered at the RIT Inn and Conference Center\, 5257 West Henrietta Road\, Henrietta\, NY 14467. This location has abundant space for our inside activities and easy access to the Thruway and interstate highways for travel to nearby birding spots. While we do not have specific highlight species\, we do have access to both Lake Ontario\, several of the Finger Lakes\, and to a large number of parks. The meeting dates will be in the midst of the fall migration for both water and land birds. \nThe weekend meeting will include Friday afternoon field trips for early arrivals and a reception and buffet followed by two workshops run twice and in parallel on Friday night. Then field trips on Saturday morning\, with shorter ones for delegates\, who will then attend the annual delegate’s meeting\, followed by a papers session in the afternoon and a banquet and speaker in the evening. Sunday morning will bring more field trips\, with several planned along routes toward attendees’ home cities. Friday and Saturday afternoons will also provide an opportunity to visit vendors and other exhibits while meeting with birding friends. We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. \nSaturday Night Banquet Speaker: Greg Miller\nA Big Year: Life After\n \nThe banquet speaker will be Greg Miller of The Big Year book and movie fame. This is the 20th anniversary of Greg’s Big Year. He will approach the subject from the viewpoint of what followed from his adventures: the book\, the movie\, and his future involvement in birding. He was able to spend time on the movie set interacting with Jack Black (who played him)\, Steve Martin\, and Owen Wilson and serving as Bird Consultant to the movie. He has become an advocate of bringing birding to as many people as possible through talks and leading tours. He has a special interest in encouraging young birders. \nGreg is one of the three birders whose competitive Big Years in 1998 became the basis for the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Big Year by Mark Obmascik published in 2004 and later the Twentieth Century Fox full length movie starring Jack Black\, Steve Martin\, and Owen Wilson filmed in 2010 and released in 2011. He has been birding since a young age\, started and encouraged by his father. He has been birding for over 50 years\, covering all 50 states and much of Canada. Since his Big Year adventure Greg has continued birding and has been very active in promoting birding\, young birders’ activities\, and bird records contributions through eBird. In 2016\, he embarked on another Big Year\, this one non-traditional. It consisted of 11 one-week tours aimed at introducing many to target species birding\, with a goal of surpassing 500 species with that limited-time\, focused approach. He currently lives in Sugarcreek in the heart of Amish Country in Northeast Ohio. \nFriday Night Workshops\nOne workshop will feature a description of the use of eBird as the data input tool and archival database for the NY Breeding Bird Atlas III to begin field work in 2020. There will be examples from the work in progress using this tool on other breeding bird atlas projects\, such as those in Wisconsin and Virginia. This tool allows near real-time access to data\, so one can see almost immediately the status of effort in any block or of the project as a whole in lists and maps. Experts in the design and use of the tool from the eBird Team will lead the presentation and discussion. \nDaena Ford of Braddock Bay Raptor Research will present an historical perspective including highlights of its many research and educational programs: the Braddock Bay Hawk Count\, hawk banding\, owl survey\, and more. \nLodging and Meeting Headquarters\nThis meeting will be centered at the RIT Inn and Conference Center at 5257 West Henrietta Road in the town of Henrietta just south of Rochester and adjacent to the NY State Thruway not far from Exit 46. There is ample parking and access from both front and back plus nearer some rooms on the sides. There are two restaurants in the hotel. \nRoom Reservations\nA block of rooms has been reserved at the RIT Inn and Conference Center\, 5257 West Henrietta Road\, Rochester\, NY 14467\, to be held through September 14\, 2018. The rate for all rooms is $109.00 plus tax. Contact the RIT Inn and conference Center directly at 585-359-1800 to make your reservation. Be sure to mention the NYSOA meeting to obtain the special rate and so that the meeting is credited for rooms reserved. \nTo reserve online and get the GROUP RATE go here: www.ritinn.com and click the Reservations tab in the top left corner. This will open a new window. Select “Group Attendee” from the center drop-down menu and enter “1809NYSOA” in the box below. Please follow these instructions carefully so NYSOA gets credited for our room block. \nMeals\nFriday and Saturday meals will be in the Mohawk/Cayuga Room. Workshops will be in nearby rooms immediately following the Friday buffet. NYSOA business\, comments\, awards presentations\, the raffle results\, and the main speaker will immediately follow Saturday’s dinner in the same room. The hotel restaurant will be open for breakfast before the morning field trips plus at regular hours\, including lunches. There are also other restaurants reasonably close in the nearby area. \nField Trips\nThe Rochester area has multiple areas where migrating birds of all types congregate: the shoreline of Lake Ontario\, with its Braddock and Irondequoit Bays; parks and cemeteries such as Durand Eastman Park\, Webster Park\, Mount Hope Cemetery\, and Holy Sepulchre Cemetery; glacial treasures such as Mendon Ponds Park with its kettle holes\, ponds\, woodlands\, and fields; and parcels preserved by the Genesee Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy\, all of which make up a vibrant\, diverse habitat for birders to enjoy. Field trips will highlight shorebird species lingering near our inland ponds and inlets\, passerine banding efforts at Braddock Bay Bird Observatory\, and songbirds along the scenic pathways of our parks and preserves. Once the conference disbands\, homebound travelers heading east have only a short detour from the Thruway to find Montezuma Wildlife Refuge and Wetlands Complex\, while those heading west pass close to Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and the Batavia Waste Water Treatment Plant. \nAs the 2018 fall migration unfolds\, Rochester’s field trip experts will be scouting these areas and more to locate the best spots for finding fall treasures. Full trip descriptions will be published nearer the conference date\, and specific field trip locations with sign-ups will be available at the meeting’s check-in table. \nPapers Session\nA paper session will be presented on Saturday afternoon beginning at 1:30 PM and ending by 5:00 PM\, with a short break mid-session. Typically\, papers relate to topics of interest to birders and are often given by students or researchers from New York schools.

DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the fall migration of shorebirds in this nearby birding treasure. We’ll visit key spots you’ll want to revisit again and again!  \nMeet in the Bushnell’s Basin Park and Ride lot at 2:00 p.m. The meeting site is off Route 96 just south of Exit 27 from I-490. Extra spotting scopes and FRS radios would be very helpful.  \nNote: This is a field trip for beginners. New birders should feel free to join these trips regardless of experience level: bring binoculars if you have them\, and we will share our scopes. The pace & focus of Beginner Trips may not be satisfying for experienced birders. Our Beginner Trips focus on teaching identification skills\, learning new habitats\, and answering questions. Experienced birders are welcome but may be pressed into service as educators!
